Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to identify the key paradoxes for of the SMEs strategic partnership.The analyses of strategic partnering theory and organization theory were the base for it.The matrix of organizational and strategic partnering cohesion was proposed. The strategic partnering was defined too. It was the basis for identifying SMEs’ deviations from generally accepted paradigms of success based on strategic partnering. SMEs’ partnering represents a special kind of strategic paradoxes. These deviations from commonly accepted rules are proof that the SME management; especially strategic management; cannot be done in a simple; linear way which was proposed for larger organizations. The creation of new paths and solutions (methods and management techniques; strategies of development) dedicated for SMEs development was recommended at the end of the study. They have to be so diverse and flexible that they should satisfy requirements and needs of small; medium and big size organizations.
